Instructions

1. Start out by separating your Peeps from the package and slice them apart from one another. A few of the hearts may be better shaped on one side than others depending on how you cut them. That's OK. If you're using the same paint color for your cards, you'll have a few extra Peeps to work with.

2. On your scrap paper, tap the exposed marshmallow side of the Peep a few times to make it less tacky. (This makes it easier to work with.)

3. Apply a liberal amount of paint to one side of the Peep.

4. To stamp, apply the inked Peep to your card. Don't push down in one hard motion; tap all around the Peep to keep from smooshing it. This results in better paint distribution. Remove the Peep and let the card dry thoroughly.

5. Each side of the heart Peep is different. When we applied a coat of lighter paint to the more sugary side of the heart, a tie-dye effect resulted when applied. When a darker paint was applied to the less sugary side, a truer, we got a deeper paint effect. It's all about experimenting.

6. Once dry, you can either give your card as-is – or you and your crafters can add additional embellishments. No matter the application, you're sure to have a sweet result!
